Hey, so im overclocking my 5200+with ntune, because it is locked in BIOS, so i can;t change the voltage on it either, so just raising the clock speed is all i can do.

I ran orthos for 32min. and 15 sec. and it went to a max temp of 59c or 138f,(i think AMD says the limit is like 68c), so would it be ok to go up to like 62c, because i am really not going to be have my cpu running at 100% usage for 30 minutes at a time.I just play games, and with my cpu at 2.9 it only went to 114F(45.5c), so i know that the games don;t run the cpu THAT hard. Do you think i should go any more?

How much more can i overclock this 5200+ w/o raising the voltage on it?

The highest that i have had it on it 2.907? but i wanted to test the stablility, so i went down to like 2.889ghz.

i have a stock fan btw
 
i woul NOT recomend going any higher with the stock heatsink/fan, if you plan on going any higher i would recomend WAY OVERKILL on the cpu fan, go with a liquid cooler of some kind
